What is the consent register?

In Trust Guardian, the Consent Register is the key tool of the Data Subject Dossier that summarizes all information on consents and authorizations for processing provided or withdrawn by data subjects, providing an up-to-date snapshot of the status of purposes for each data subject.

Every action, such as granting, withdrawing, or modifying a consent, along with the related proofs of genuineness, is tracked and archived, allowing for accurate and responsible privacy management. The register does not only cover consents but also tracks authorizations based on other legal grounds, such as legitimate interest or contractual obligations, creating a comprehensive and historical view of personal data and purposes for each individual data subject.

This centralized approach not only simplifies the management of customer consents but also ensures compliance with GDPR, offering a solid basis of proof in the event of audits, disputes, or inspections by supervisory authorities. In Trust Guardian, the Consent Register is the essential tool for minimizing risks related to personal data processing and for enhancing the reliability of corporate privacy management, increasing its accountability.
